Allow the game finder page to accept the same parameters as a submitted game finder form request and returna page with the checkboxes filled in.

Specifics:

Currently adding parameters to http://www.conquerclub.com/player.php?mode=find has no effect on the returned page.When a game finder request is submitted, the form parameters are submitted and a results page is returned.It would be useful if the game finder page would accept the same form parameters and fill in the checkboxes.

This will improve the following aspects of the site:1.Users can bookmark game finder searches without needing Firefox or Greasemonkey2. The site and scripts can offer users links with pre-filled game finder checkboxes thus making it easier to bookmark.

It's true you would have to use Firefox and Greasemonkey, I believe.

chipv is the one that created Map Rank GL...

I think it should be integrated in the site, as well as a save for the Start A Game page

LOL That is funny. I paid no attention. I'll let y'all laugh a day or two before I delete my post.

support for this idea for sure ... think it should be part of the site ... not just in an add-on (which are not always accessible from public computers).

... i mean, it's either something like this or you should have a personalizable "Game Finder" page, where you select the maps and settings for that "Tab" (where the page is set up like the "My Games" page with its 'Active' - 'Waiting for Players' - 'Finished' tabs.)

I play lots of speed games, but i always search for certain game types/styles when looking for games. It would be awesome if I could make this process faster when trying to find a game. This may have already been suggested.

Once, when I searched for a game, it returned a URL with a long string of variables (PHP?) rather than simply showing http://www.conquerclub.com/player.php?mode=find. I'm sure this long URL contained the code for the customized game search I was looking for. Can't that URL be visible every time? Or can we make a way for each premium user to save a few customized game searches?

Specifically I always search for sequential public speed games that are awaiting players.

This will allow users to more easily link to desired Game Finder search results.

This will allow users who don't know the workaround (discussed below) to link to Game Finder search results

Currently players have to use the work around of pressing one of the navigation arrow buttons to get the address bar to change to an address that actually links to the desired search results.

This workaround is even more confusing when the Game Finder search returns only one page of games (less than 101 games). In this case, users would have to know that they can click on the grayed out and seemingly inactive navigation arrow buttons to get an address that actually links to the desired results

Furthermore, not displaying the unset variables will make for shorter links in the forum.

About a month since the last post. Looks like we have about five or six in favor and so far no detractors. I also am amending the suggesting to remove unset variables. Seems like an easy enough thing to do if lack does end up messing with the displayed address anyway. The following has been added to the suggestion:

Did I miss any benefits? Is there any problem with adding the above to the suggestion? Let me know.

The above link seems to do the same thing and we have removed another "unset" variable if you consider the default value of "page" to be "1." If there are no problems with this further reduction, then I will amend the suggestion again.
